Kristen Stewart's 'Live! With Kelly & Michael' Crop Top: SHOP The Look
Good morning Ms. Stewart! The 'Still Alice' actress rocked a crop top on 'Live! With Kelly & Michael' in the dead of winter and we love her for it! Click to see how she styled her mod top on Jan. 26 and SHOP if you want to rock the exact look!
Kristen Stewart, 24, has legs for days, which is why she nailed it on Jan. 26 when she opted for a graphic crop top and paired it with a high-waisted skirt. Although she was technically wearing a tiny top, the actress didn't dare to bare her belly during her morning appearance — styled like a true fashion star and professional actress! Love her look? SHOP it right here.
Kristen Stewart's 'Live! With Kelly & Michael' Outfit — SHOP Her Crop Top:
KStew kept her outfit in neutral territory and let her striped A.L.C. Cory Top make all the statements. The actress, who fully embraces her alabaster skin, (hey, once a vampire always a vampire!), is one of the few who can totally pull off that toffee hue.
Plus, KStew's textured and edgy bob allowed the actress to wear the preppy knit top without making it look too sweet — it had just the right amount of edge and stayed so true to her sense of style. For her morning appearance on Live! With Kelly & Michael it was very fitting for the actress to wear her cool crop top with a high-waisted, beige skirt. This way, we could hardly see a slither of the star's toned tummy, but just enough!
Kristen Stewart's Top — SHOP Her Look Here:
If you feel timid about fully investing in this trend than we recommend Topshop's Striped crop top . Black and white stripes never go out of style and the material will enable you to wear it all year round.
Kristen's look reminds us of a modern Edie Sedgwick and to fully embrace the '60s trend you can even wear graphic earrings. With short hair like Kstew, this will most definitely make a statement — and it'll take the cropped look from classic to retro chic!
Are you loving KStew's promotional look?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (or OSAS) describes a condition when there are frequent pauses in breathing during sleep. OSAS is quite a common disorder and affects around 4% of the population.
Cause of Sleep apnea:
Sleep apneas are caused when the muscles in your soft palate, uvula (extension of the soft palate which hangs from the roof of the mouth down towards your tongue), tongue and tonsils relax during sleep, narrowing your airways so much that they closes. This stops your breathing for a few seconds, cutting off the oxygen supply to your body and halting the removal of carbon dioxide. Because of this, your brain briefly wakes you up, re-opens your airways and re-starts your breathing. This occurs many times in a night in people with OSAS and makes proper sleep impossible.
Signs and symptoms?
Many people experience apneas during sleep. However, for a positive diagnosis of OSAS, a number of daytime and night-time symptoms should be present. In the daytime, the main symptom is excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Other symptoms that you may experience during the day are related to disturbed sleep and EDS, and include tiredness, slight loss of memory, difficulty in concentrating, impaired performance at work or school, headaches and/or feeling sick in the morning, heartburn and feeling depressed. During the night, snoring is common in OSAS patients, because it is also caused by narrowing of your airways. Your partner or friends may have witnessed a pause in your breathing on occasion and told you about it. You may also wake up some times feeling as though you are choking or gasping. Many patients with OSAS have insomnia. This may not show itself as a problem getting to sleep, but may be caused by sleep being regularly disturbed. Other night-time symptoms include wetting the bed, sweating and reduced libido or impotence.
How can sleep apnea be diagnosed? Polysomnography (a method of recording body measurements during sleep) is used to diagnose OSAS. This is usually carried out in a sleep laboratory, and provides full details on factors such as length and quality of sleep, breathing, position of the body and heart rate.
Complication of untreated sleep apnea:
High blood pressure
Evidence suggests OSA can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).
This may not cause any obvious symptoms in itself, but it can increase your risk of potentially serious problems such as heart attacks and strokes.
Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly and eating a healthy, balanced diet can all help prevent high blood pressure, as can the appropriate treatment of OSA, such as using breathing apparatus while you sleep.
Road traffic accidents
As someone with poorly controlled OSA can experience excessive daytime sleepiness, they have an increased risk of being involved in a life-threatening accident, such as a car crash. Their risk of having a work-related accident also increases.
Research has shown someone who has been deprived of sleep because of OSA may be up to 12 times more likely to be involved in a car accident.
If you are diagnosed with OSA, it may mean your ability to drive is affected.
Once a diagnosis of OSA has been made, you should not drive until your symptoms are well controlled.
OSA has also been linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This is a lifelong condition that causes a person's blood sugar (glucose) level to become too high. It may occur in people with OSA if your body becomes less able to break down glucose properly.
However, it is not clear whether people develop diabetes as a direct result of OSA, or whether it is the result of an underlying cause of the condition, such as obesity.
Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Common treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) include making lifestyle changes and using breathing apparatus while you sleep.
OSA is a long-term condition and many cases will require lifelong treatment.
Lifestyle changes
In most cases of OSA, you will be advised to make healthy lifestyle changes, such as:
- losing weight if you are overweight or obese
- stopping smoking if you smoke
- Limiting your alcohol consumption, particularly before going to bed.
- avoiding sedative medications and sleeping tablets
Losing weight, reducing the amount of alcohol you drink and avoiding sedatives have all been shown to help improve the symptoms of OSA.
Although it's less clear whether stopping smoking can improve the condition, you'll probably be advised to stop for general health reasons.
Sleeping on your side, rather than on your back, may also help relieve the symptoms of OSA if you have been diagnosed with the condition.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
As well as the lifestyle changes mentioned above, people with moderate to severe OSA will usually need to use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device.
This is a small pump that delivers a continuous supply of compressed air to you through a mask that either covers your nose or your nose and mouth. The compressed air prevents your throat closing.
CPAP can feel peculiar to start with and you may be tempted to stop using it. But people who persevere usually soon get used to it and their symptoms improve significantly.
CPAP is the most effective therapy for treating severe cases of OSA. As well as reducing symptoms such as snoring and tiredness, it can also reduce the risk of complications of OSA, such as high blood pressure.
Possible side effects of using a CPAP device can include:
- mask discomfort
- nasal congestion, runny nose or irritation
- difficulty breathing through your nose
- headaches and ear pain
- stomach pain and flatulence (wind)
Earlier versions of CPAP also often caused problems such as nasal dryness and a sore throat. However, modern versions tend to include humidifiers (a device that increases moisture), which helps to reduce these side effects.
If CPAP causes you discomfort, inform you're your DME company (the company providing the breathing apparatus) as the device can be modified to make it more comfortable. For example, you can try using a CPAP machine that starts with a low air pressure and gradually builds up to a higher air pressure as you fall asleep.
Mandibular advancement device (MAD)
A mandibular advancement device (MAD) is a dental appliance, similar to a gum shield, sometimes used to treat mild OSA. They are not generally recommended for more severe OSA, although they may be an option if you are unable to tolerate using a CPAP device.
An MAD is worn over your teeth when you are asleep. It is designed to hold your jaw and tongue forward to increase the space at the back of your throat and reduce the narrowing of your airway that causes snoring.
Off-the-shelf MADs are available from specialist websites, but most experts do not recommend them, as poor-fitting MADs can make symptoms worse. It is recommended you have an MAD made for you by a dentist with training and experience in treating sleep apnea.
An MAD may not be suitable treatment for you if you do not have many (or any) teeth. If you have dental caps, crowns or bridgework, consult your dentist to ensure that they will not be stressed or damaged by an MAD.
Surgery to treat OSA is not routinely recommended because evidence shows it is not as effective as CPAP in controlling the symptoms of the condition. It also carries the risk of more serious complications.
Surgery is usually only considered as a last resort when all other treatment options have failed, and if the condition is severely affecting your quality of life.=p>A range of surgical treatments have been used to treat OSA. These include:
- tonsillectomy – where the tonsils are removed if they are enlarged and blocking your airway when you sleep
- adenoidectomy – where the adenoids (small lumps of tissue at the back of the throat, above the tonsils) are removed if they are enlarged and are blocking the airway during sleep
- tracheostomy – where a tube is inserted directly into your neck to allow you to breathe freely, even if the airways in your upper throat are blocked
- weight loss (bariatric) surgery – where the size of the stomach is reduced if you are severely obese and this is making your sleep apnea worse
Surgery to remove excess tissue in the throat to widen your airway (uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) used to be a common surgical treatment for OSA, but it is performed less often nowadays.
This is because more effective treatments are available, such as CPAP. This type of surgery can mean you are unable to use a CPAP device properly in the future if you need to.
Soft palate implants
Soft palate implants make the soft palate (part of the roof of the mouth) stiffer and less likely to vibrate and cause an obstruction. The implants are inserted into the soft palate under local anesthetic.

On the weekend we were ducking into the shops and as usual Otis asked if he could go into "the space shop" aka Australia Geographic Store. I reluctantly said ok not because the store isn't wonderful ( it's actually one of our faves!!) but because I know how long our visits there can extend for.
As we were having a wander through I was taking a moment to look through the children books. This story The Lost Leadbeater's Possums caught my eye ($14.95). Over the past few days we have been reading it and the kids and myself have been really loving it.
It recounts a tale of how the Leadbeater's possums were once thriving in the southern parts of Victoria in Australia and all of a sudden they was a rapid decline in numbers until they were gone. They were disappearing because man had cut down the trees in which homed them, altered the particular habitat in which these small creatures need in order to survive. How bushfires were devastating their habitats and they could no longer survive. A theme is continuously repeated " this is why the possums cry at night when we're asleep". It's a strongly emotive phrase that young minds and hearts are struck by.
I found this book brought up discussions about, how are these things are happening? why are animals becoming extinct? what can we do to create change and respect the space we co exist in? Then we find out that the Leadbeater's Possums after being declared extinct are re – enlisted and there is hope.
A few things I really liked about this book was the story was clear, emotive and honest. At the end few pages there are facts about the Leadbeater's life span, reproduction, food, habitat, ect and photographs of these cute little marsupials. I must also make a special mention of the gorgeous Illustrations throughout this book that capture and enhance the narrative of the story so well. I love the contemporary nature of them and the use of colour palette that is so distinctive with the mood of each page.
All in all I would totally recommend this book for anyone with early /mid primary aged children. It opened up a dialogue with myself and my son about animals becoming extinct and what positive role we can play in protecting our wildlife here in Australia and abroad. I feel very strong about fostering a love for the earth and all creatures in which we share this amazing space with and this book was great tool on that journey.
let me know if you read it would love to know your thoughts too… Enjoy xx

Annual T-Shirt & Jersey Design Contest
The Envelope Please… And, the winner of the 2016 PosPeds Design Contest is…
The National Board of Positive Pedalers would like to announce the artist submitting the winning entry for the 2016 Design Contest for Jersey and T-Shirt is Jamil Eric Wilkins.
What was your inspiration for the jersey and t-shirt? "Our mission as Positive Pedalers is to eliminate HIV stigma through our positive public example. We are not meant to merely survive, but to thrive; and to do so with passion, compassion, humor, and style. The way people living with HIV see themselves has a large impact on how we thrive as a community — overcoming self-stigmatization. I want my journey to be an example of what it means to separate HIV from the person living with it. In order to eliminate the stigma behind the life-changing event and thrive because of it, I considered my language, terminology, and self-perception. Although we're living with HIV, we are not the virus itself. In looking at the person and not the condition, the person can define who he or she truly is. For example, saying I AM HIV POSITIVE places much emphasis on the condition and not the person's identity. That's when I responded, WE ARE LIVING WITH HIV, WE'RE NOT HIV POSITIVE and then raised the question, WHAT ELSE ARE WE? That's when the positive words beginning with "p" were introduced. The words were selected to promote understanding, worth, respect, dignity, and value for people living with HIV. I started with "POWERFUL," moved to "PRICELESS," and then added terms to represent our fight throughout the years. Sure, we're living with HIV, but we are positive in more defining ways."

The writers would face certain death at the hands of the Gulf Cartel if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas' Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by Ciudad Victoria's "MA Navarro."
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas—A series of execution and raging violence that have been taking place in this state capital point to a change within Los Zetas drug cartel and perhaps even more violence.
The executions of individuals linked to organized crime took place under orders of a man known as Commander Boss who is the current plaza boss for Los Zetas in Ciudad Victoria. This move follows an apparent restructuring within the criminal organization and appears to have the blessing of the Zeta leadership in Nuevo Laredo. The drug cartel known as Los Zetas has formed a council of sorts in order to carry out decisions within the criminal structure.
The eradication of members within the most dangerous criminal organization has sparked alarm in this city as to increased violence while authorities with the Public Safety Secretariat (SSP) in Tamaulipas announce a new era in security by naming a new SSP secretary.
General Jesus Martinez Martinez, the new SSP secretary for Tamaulipas has replaced General Arturo Gutierrez Garcia who after a year and a half finished out his term as head of this governmental body.
Gutierrez Garcia arrived in Tamaulipas as part of a federal task force aimed at taking control of the public safety situation in the area. During his term in office, Gutierrez Garcia oversaw the downfall of 14 bosses from the two main cartels in the area, Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel.
While the SSP undergoes various changes, Los Zetas have been carrying out executions within their organizations. The drug cartel had been keeping a low profile following the capture of various of their leaders in along one of their areas of operations that ranges from Ciudad Mante to Ciudad Victoria.
The effort to keep a low profile ended when the executions started. One of the executions took place this week when unknown individuals murdered Miguel Angel Carriere Gonzalez as he was coming out of a local mechanic shop. Just hours later, 17-year-old Erick Teran Olvera died after unknown individuals shot him while answering the door at his house.
Another shooting took place Thursday outside of the Francisco Hernandez Garcia Law School in this city. A group of five unknown gunmen shot 18-year-old Eduardo Medina Olvera leaving the critically injured man in a pool of blood.
The heightened profiles of Los Zetas continued this week when the group hung various banners in this city accusing the SSP undersecretary of forming an alliance with the Gulf Cartel through a $1 million bribe, Cartel Chronicles reported.
The border city of Nuevo Laredo has also seen a spike in cartel violence. Over the weekend the city saw 8 Los Zetas gunmen and one soldier die in a series of fierce firefights. These violent incidents were also reported by Cartel Chronicles.
The series of executions and violence that have spiked along this region appear to show that Mexico's most sadistic criminal group is undergoing internal changes in an effort to remain current and to keep their plazas under control. Their ongoing war with the Gulf Cartel has already spread to five years plunging the state into an insecurity crisis where the loss of lives remains beyond counting and neither side has been a clear winner.
Just as neither Los Zetas nor the Gulf Cartel appear to be winning their war, the security strategies implemented by the federal and state government have not changed the perception Mexico is winning in public safety matters.

Met two gay men who work as technicians at La Comédie Française. For some unknown reason they seem to have grown fond of me. Today we had coffee and sandwiches at La Place Collette. It was a beautiful day, so sunny it hurt, and nothing could ruin what I felt inside. One of them asked: "Margot, have you slept with French men before?" The way he asked me sounded like he asked about some favourite dessert. Of course I lied and said no, because it didn't feel appropriate to talk about my flings. I could hardly remember what it felt like to be part of someones victory. What would happen if I'd lose my looks, I thought, would Paris turn into a place I would avoid? At this stage, beauty was still more important than intelligence. In France beauty meant survival, unless of course you were a man.
We finished our sandwiches and a small band started playing in front of us. There was a light breeze, and for a few seconds all the paper money they had collected went flying through the air. That moment everything was perfect, there was nothing that I wished would change. I would accept the loss of beauty, provided that it stayed there, everywhere you looked.

Face-Lift 862: Sins of the Past
Retired teachers are being killed, all from the same school; brutally, systematically. With each murder, the killer gets more brazen. One is attacked with an ax, one cut open and hanged, and a couple are even murdered in their own beds while the police keep watch outside.
Can a killer like this be stopped? And when a mother and her two young children are kidnapped, the stakes are raised even higher.
Detective Harry MacCormick, a ten year veteran with the Harton, Pennsylvania police force, is called to investigate. Upon interviewing some of the former students of the teachers, harry soon discovers that she, along with the principal of the school, has been keeping a dark, terrible secret that could have gotten her and her fellow teachers killed.
SINS OF THE PAST is a suspense/mystery tale of murder and revenge that will keep the reader guessing about the identity of the killer to the end. It is complete at 65,000 words. The full manuscript is available upon request.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
This version has a much sharper focus than the previous one, which makes it a more compelling reading. It does, I think, need some further refining to help get the reader invested in the case, the detective, and the conclusion.
Retired teachers are being killed, all from the same school; brutally, systematically.
Passive sentences have their place -- generally it's not as the lead sentence in a query or backcover copy. Also, serious punctuation lapses in your first sentence don't inspire confidence. You want the best first impression possible.
With each murder, the killer gets more brazen. One is attacked with an ax, one cut open and hanged, and a couple are even murdered in their own beds while the police keep watch outside.
A tiny logic slip-up: First, you tell us the killer gets more brazen with each kill, then you give us TWO murders that are the same -- where the killer hasn't stepped up his game in one of them.
Can a killer like this be stopped?
Asking a question here interrupts the pace. Your story is a tense, fast-paced murder mystery, no? Let the query reflect that. Don't stop the action for a pensive moment. Keep ratcheting up the excitement.
And when a mother and her two young children are kidnapped, the stakes are raised even higher.
I don't see the tie-in here. Does the kidnapping have something to do with the serial killer? It doesn't seem to fit a pattern. Be clear why you've suddenly dropped this crime into the mix. The two young children makes me think the mother, who we don't learn until the next paragraph is a teacher, is fairly young herself -- and not retired.
I'm also not understanding the stakes. Police are trying to protect potential next victims already, so it's already a "stop him before he kills someone else" scenario. Now, assuming the killer is the one who kidnapped these victims, it's a "stop him before he kills them" scenario still, right?
How do the police know these folk have been kidnapped? Does the killer want something? Does he demand ransom of some sort? Taunt the police to find them before he kills them?
Detective Harry MacCormick, a ten year veteran with the Harton, Pennsylvania police force, is called to investigate.
A bit about the detective as a three-dimensional character here would be good. It doesn't have to be much - maybe half a sentence that separates him from all the interchangeable detectives out there.
Is Harry called in to investigate the kidnapping or the murders? At this point, do the police think there's a connection? The query infers there may be, but doesn't offer any evidence in support.
Upon interviewing some of the former students of the teachers, harry soon discovers that she, along with the principal of the school, has been keeping a dark, terrible secret that could have gotten her and her fellow teachers killed.
What is the antecedent for "she" here? If it's supposed to be the mother, she's far too removed from this reference. Also, using the conditional past "could have gotten her... killed" is confusing because it doesn't necessarily infer that the secret could be of importance today.
SINS OF THE PAST is a suspense/mystery tale of murder and revenge that will keep the reader guessing about the identity of the killer to the end.
I think we need a bit more reason to care who the killer is in order to read to the end. Also, you don't need to say it'll keep the reader guessing because if it doesn't, it isn't a very good mystery.
It is complete at 65,000 words. The full manuscript is available upon request.
"Complete" and "full manuscript" are redundant. These sentences can be combined.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Shorter sentences are more exciting. To be honest, right now you have yet another murder case and yet another stereotypical detective. What you need is voice to set you apart. As written this query has no voice, and voice is what you need here to get requests, I think.
My Version
Ten long years cleaning up the human garbage in Harton, Pennsylvannia, has left Detective Harry MacCormick beyond jaded. He's seriously thinking about transferring to some quiet, backwater town when teachers start turning up dead. The commonalities: they're retired, taught at the same school, and are being killed brutally and systematically. The first is attacked with an axe, the next cut open and hanged, and the latest -- Harry's own 4th-grade teacher -- murdered in her bed while the cops sitting surveillence outside never hear a thing.
Then another teacher, along with her two young daughters, is kidnapped, and the note left behind points back to the same killer. Now, instead of being left to mop up the mess, Harry has a chance on this case to make a difference before more people die.
Harry's investigation turns up a solid clue: former students of the victims suggest the kidnapped teacher and her principal have been keeping a dark, terrible secret. One that could be motive enough to get them and their fellow teachers killed. The hitch: The killer could well be any of three suspects and the next victim could be any of a dozen targets. If Harry doesn't figure it out soon, the sharp decline in Harton's population is going to continue, and finding employment even in some dot of a town on an FM road boasting nothing more than a liquor store and a Dollar General isn't going to be easy.
SINS OF THE PAST is a 65,000-word suspense/mystery tale of murder and revenge. I look forward to sending you the completed manuscript.

Query Revision 57
Face-Lift 862: Sins of the Past

This is a big improvement over the previous version. Like Phoenix mentioned a few well placed details are what will help it stand out.
I was a little confused about how the kidnapping victim is connected to the killings as well.
Good luck

You should always start with your protagonist followed by the description of the story. As in Phoenix's version.
Usually a serial killer always kills the same way. Unless the way each person is killed has some personal meaning to the reason for the killers revenge.
From all the murders my impression is that all these teachers, killed or still alive, have a secret. This would be the reason for revenge. Otherwise why kill the others?

Hi Author, hope you don't mind, I did a re-write.
Detective Harry MacCormick's to do list is abruptly re-arranged when a kidnapped primary teacher and her two kids are put at the top. The list contiunes with a string of brutal murders of retired teachers who have been hacked up, hung and shot.
The murderer killed one elderly couple while the police watched their house. All of the victims taught at the same school.
Harry, a detective who has seen way too much and swallowed a river of stale coffee in ten years as a veteran with the Harton, Pennsylvania police force, is stumped by the kidnapper's note. As he interviews people of interest in the investigation he uncovers a carefully kept secret. The secret links the killer, the kidnapped family and the school Principal.
If Harry can get through the layers of the investigation fast enough he may be able to save some lives for once instead of doing the mop up report. If he gets it wrong his mop up list will include the mom and her kids. He can't live with that.
Good luck,

I like Phoenix's suggestion and Orlando's of leading with the protagonist.
Something bothers me when I read the sentences about 'the teacher and principal keeping a dark, terrible secret'. I don't know exactly what, but maybe there is another way to phrase that.
Harry's interviews with the students only reveal... and go from there maybe.
That's the big thing that stuck out to me. I like the title.

Hey Phoenix, you can't scold someone for a passive opening line and then write one yourself!!!
Seriously, I agree that 90% of the time you should start with the character, but Mysteries often start with the crime. In this case I like the opening line just because the retired teacher angle is a bit different. I would amend it to say:
"Retired teachers from (JFK High) are being killed--brutally and systematically."
When in doubt, BE SPECIFIC not generic. And when you can, have the power punch of the sentence come at the end rather than the "Are being killed" up front and then interrupt it with a distraction.
Otherwise, good job on the revision, and I agree with most of Phoenix's comments.
- 02 February, 2011 13:02
- Phoenix said...
Stephen, I would say a mystery could go either way: it's either plot-driven or character-driven. On EE's site, we saw that this story opens with the detective, a big clue this story is character-driven. The author will need to decide what drives their story and what their hook is.
In general, I have nothing against starting with the mystery in a plot-driven book. My own query for a book I'm pitching now starts that way.
I'm not sure where the passive is in my opening sentence? The base construct is pretty much subject - verb - object. The detective is being performed upon, not doing the performing.
Present perfect is soooo misunderstood. It's not passive in and of itself, only in how it's used. It just has to show up, though, and people start blaming it for being something it's not. I look forward to the day it can carry a sentence proudly and not be pointed at or even -- horrors! -- be ripped out and rearranged just because of its natural case. I hope that day comes soon.

please don't take this as hardcore criticism, just more banter/debate....just cuz it's interesting to me. Cool?
"Ten long years cleaning up the human garbage in Harton, Pennsylvannia, has left Detective Harry MacCormick beyond jaded. He's seriously thinking..."
Okay grammar police aside on technicalities of "active vs passive" -- I look at more the effect it has on the readers' minds....active or passive?
So the MC which should be the active/important component of the novel (protagonists should protagonate! lol), first is being made jaded by his past. Granted he's the one cleaning up the muck...but it still doesn't come across as "active". Then in the next sentence, his first real action "on screen" he's thiking....thinking is NOT protagonating!
- 03 February, 2011 17:02
- Wilkins MacQueen said...
Passive voice according to wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn : the voice used to indicate that the grammatical subject of the verb is the recipient (not the source) of the action denoted by the verb.
- 04 February, 2011 10:40
- Phoenix said...
Absolutely cool! Healthy banter and debate is just that: healthy. In this case, it's more over a question of semantics. I'm looking at the grammar, you're looking at the effect. And both points are absolutely valid. Great food for thought for the author to take into account when they do their next revision!
- 04 February, 2011 10:56
PS, I think you mean "imply," not "infer."

The Four Heroes of Erdas, Anka, and Worthy search for the Wildcat's Claw in Eura. They start on their way to Trunswick to look for some records that Worthy has read about the Wildcat's Claw. When they get there though, the castle is burned down. They eventually find the records in the Howling House and are on their way to an enchanted forest called Wilcoskov. There the Wildcat's Claw is waiting for them and so are Gransfen and the grave of Wilco, the legendary hero and his spirit animal.

Moving home
If you are an existing resident of Elim Housing there are three options available for finding a new home with a social landlord: Internal Transfer, Mutual Exchange or Local Authority Choice Based Letting Scheme.
Internal transfer
If you wish to move to another Elim property you can apply for a transfer. Your right to transfer depends on the type of tenancy you hold.
As we only own a small number of properties we do not have a high number of vacancies. This means you may wait a long time for a suitable new home to become available. We therefore suggest that you also consider Mutual Exchange and using the Local Authority Choice Based Lettings system to find a new home.
If you wish to apply for a transfer please Contact us and speak to your Housing Officer who will send you an application form and explain the process to you.
Mutual exchange
A mutual exchange is where you swap your home and tenancy with a tenant who also lives in social housing. Most of our general needs tenants have the right to do an exchange. You can find out if you have this right by checking your tenancy agreement or contacting your Housing Officer.
You will need to find another tenant of a housing association or local authority to exchange with.
Elim housing subscribes to Homeswapper an online service you can use to advertise that you wish to exchange and to search for an exchange partner. As Elim subscribes to this service it is free to our residents.
When you have found an exchange partner you need to contact your Housing Officer who will send you an application form and explain the process to you.
You can also use this Mutual Exchange Application Form (DEC16) [docx] 452KB to tell us you have found someone to exchange with. You will need to print it, write the details in and post it to us.
You must not exchange with another tenant without signed consent from Elim Housing.

Sanctuary takes place on 27th and 28th September
Making a welcome return is The Dark Outside FM - a site-specific radio station curated by sound artist Stuart Maclean. For 24 hours, The Dark Outside FM will be broadcasting previously unheard sound and music from artists as diverse as, Carter Tutti, Bis, Craig Safan and Jon Brooks. Contributions come from Australia, Canada, the UK, Norway, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, Denmark and the USA. This new work can only be heard at this site and the sound files will be destroyed afterwards.
This year's broadcast will also include a live multi-transmitter performance from veteran sound experimentalists :zoviet* france
There will also be light installations including Robbie Coleman's dramatic 100ft neon light sculpture called ENCLOSURE. Then there will be chances to discover aspects of otherworldliness – including explorations of the paranormal and strange psychic phenomenon – in the Dark Skies Lounge.
The event, which takes place around Murrays Monument miles from the nearest town, is a collaboration between artists Robbie Coleman, Jo Hodges and Stuart Mclean.
Jan Hogarth, from Wide Open, said: "This is one of the most exciting art collaborations to happen in the landscape of Scotland this year […] Jo Hodges, Robbie Coleman and Stuart Mclean are a highly imaginative team and they are offering the chance to experience a whole alternative reality."
The event will capture the region's creative imagination and unveil the many senses of place within landscape. It is targeting both local and urban audiences, bringing them to the landscape of Galloway for an unforgettable experience. Hundreds of art and music enthusiasts are expected to come from far and wide to spend the night in the forest and take part in the event.
Robbie Coleman said: "The Dark Sky Park is an incredible place to spend the night, looking at the stars and listening to music that's never been heard before. It's an exciting place to create experimental work."
Keith Muir, head of tourism for Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park, said "The Dark Outside FM event not only highlights the importance of darkness but will also help visitors and locals understand light and how it affects who and what we are. How often do you get a good reason to take a drive to the countryside in total darkness and listen to music?
For the Dark Sky Park art is proving to be one of the best ways to communicate the importance of light and darkness, the Sanctuary of music and the space it creates is a very powerful instrument and Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park is delighted to be able to host this event and the growing number of art works. The visitors who come to be part of an event or see the art works all contribute to making the south west of Scotland the premier destination for environmental art which further enhances the new Unesco Biosphere status in the area".
Food and refreshments by the famous Moniaive Green Tea House will be available.

At that very moment, in a gym packed full of supposed fitness models, bodybuilding enthusiasts and gym rats, Sean, Doug and myself all stopped what we were doing and shared the same exact thought. It was Doug Miller, the man known for coining the term "Crush It" when describing how to train, who spoke up first. Sean and I listened and menstruated
"We are the only people actually training in this gym." Doug stated, while somewhat out of breath from the over 200 reps we had already buried.
Sean and I looked up, nodded our heads in agreement, and then proceeded to add more plates to the hack squat (see this very leg training session here:
The Problem - You Don't "Crush It"People want gains. They want the mass and definition of Doug Miller. They want the flowing aesthetics of Sean Torbati. They want (well, like two people actually) the grainy, veiny look I bring to the stage and to everyday life.
People go to the gym setting these lofty goals. They want to get bigger, better, faster, stronger. Ripped abs, big biceps, chiseled chest, veiny penis (okay, just making sure you're still awake).
The problem is, they train. They go to the gym, lift half-a$$ed and don't "CRUSH IT." These lifters do sets and reps but never more than what they think they can do.
They follow the chart. They use ratios. And while I believe these have a place in everything, empirically, the best athletes push past their limits, defy limitations. As Mike Rashid says, they train for their mind and not just their body.
They freaking CRUSH IT!
The Pain ThresholdThe problem with training is that it hurts. That's why so many dudes look like they're riding, or having sex with a chicken due to their small legs.
Sure, if your legs are small your penis will look bigger. It's all relative, right? But I think legs are cool, and if you have a small penis you're doomed anyway so might as well compensate with big quads.
To build big legs eff it to build big ANYTHING you need to push it past the pain threshold. Arnold said in Pumping Iron that it is the last few reps when the pain is intolerable where gains are made. Science says that isn't the case, but screw science!
I have trained with Dorian, Ronnie and other greats and the one thing they had in common was training through the point when mere mortals and beta pussies gave up. Be an ALPHA, go past the pain!

Percentages and VaginasI love science. I love powerlifting and going by percentage increases and all of that jive turkey. It works, plain and simple. But this article is about building muscle. This article is about taking what I know about science and putting it into a glass jar in case I need it later.
This article is about what I have witnessed with my own two eyes in my many years in this iron game and what champions share in common. I like progressive overload, and we should strive for that! But for hypertrophy, not strength, why limit it?
Why get 315 for 3 when you can get 315 for 5? It's like sex, at least in my perverted mind. If my personal best for lasting in sugar-walls was 42 minutes, do I give up at 43, or give that lucky lady the best 60 minutes of her life! That's right, be a porn star in the gym! Treat those weights like a female
Just don't try to eat them.
The SolutionThe solution is to channel your inner Dorian Yates, your inner Doug Miller, and your inner Ronnie Coleman. Watch and listen to Mike Rashid (see his ImSoAlpha line HERE) and his motivating commentary.
Watch the epic videos where Doug Miller, Mike Rashid and other like-minded people get together with me and tear some crap up on the TigerFitness YouTube Channel. Get motivated, get at it, lift some heavy weights, and make some motha-effin'-GAINS!
Don't just lift weights, ATTACK THEM!
ConclusionThere are other variables. Diet, rest, supplements, stress and other things but this article is looking at one variable. Conquer this, crush limitations, and OBLITERATE all of your short and long term GAINS GOALS!
Until then, please comment on this article on the TigerFitness.com Forums and know that we care about your gains at Tigerfitness.comYou Are More Than Just A Number Here! Now get the heck out of here and CRUSH IT!

Who do you think Brennan was taking his orders from?
The man who nominated him for the CIA??
We are in the hands of the Muslims, the head one sitting in the White House.
Still in denial that our republican Senators put the traitor John Kerry as SOS.Unfrigginbelievable,
FUJOHN McCAIN
Apparently Stevens didn't know what was going on and if he had they would have beefed up security. He had no idea he was a sitting target...
Brennan is a Muslim convert. He converted in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s.
Brennan pwns obama
Brennan's operatives broke into the State Department passport files in '08 and cleaned out obama's history and that of his family and probably friends too
Now, who pwns Brennan?

Thursday on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel said he has the unique perspective of bouncing between the Arab and Israel world and is stunned how they are united in opposition to a nuclear agreement with Iran.
Engel said the deal is "not going to go over well at all."
"We had a unique perspective because we've been bouncing between the Muslim world and going over to Israel," Engel said. "We're seeing an alliance—both the Sunni and Arab states—and traditional big U.S. allies and Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, all saying this is a bad deal, that the process rewards Iran. And Israel saying the exact same thing. And it is not very often in the Middle East where you have Israel and the Arab world singing off the same song sheet, but this time when it comes to Iran, they most certainly are."
He added, "What they are most concerned about is that this allows Iran to develop—further develop—its nuclear capacity. Although there will be controls which the Arabs and Israel don't believe will be verified, and it rewards Iran while Iran is being aggressive on the ground. It is taking territory through a proxy in Yemen, and the Yemeni government has all but been pushed out of Yemen, holding just a tiny little piece of Aden, and the fighting there even today has intensified. While there is Iranian backed militias advancing into Tikrit with U.S. Air power, the Arab world sees this as a moment that Iran is trying to spread its influence and spread its power across the Middle East, and don't want to see the U.S. make some sort of deal with Iran that allows it to have any kind of sanctions relief at this moment."

A critical element of creating a user interface that will be acceptable to your users is getting the tab order of the component widgets correct. The tab order is the order in which each widget gains the input focus as the user presses the Tab key. Users expect the tab order to be logical—an order that mirrors the way they interact with the window. For example, consider a window that permits the input of name, address, city, state, and Zip Code information. In such an interface, the user expects to enter the name first, then the address, and so on. If the window opens with the focus in the address field and then shifts to the name field when the user presses the Tab key, the interface does not mirror the manner in which the user expects to enter the information.
In the absence of a specific order, as with the name and address information discussed earlier, the general rule is to have the input focus flow from top to bottom and from left to right.

Cut QualityThe ideal cut diamond is a very precise mathematical equation, where diamond proportions and angles are cut to optimize the diamond's superlative optical properties, in particular it's high refractive index and color dispersion, to create a diamond of unequaled beauty with perfect balance of brilliance and fire. In layman's terms, the diamond is cut to make it the most beautiful diamond so it retains its intrinsic value.
ColorTo most people G color diamonds will look absolutely colorless unless the diamonds of better color grade are used as a reference. Diamonds of G color grade offer an excellent trade off between diamond quality and affordability. GIA certified G color diamonds look exceptionally beautiful in platinum settings and make an excellent investment.
ClarityIF clarity diamonds are internally flawless. diamonds of IF clarity exhibit no inclusions and may have insignificant blemishes that are extraordinarily difficult to see even under high magnification. Diamonds of this grade of clarity are extremely rare and expansive.

John Ehret's boys basketball team had a little extra incentive as they pushed past Hahnville 40-33 during the first round of the Newman Invitational on Wednesday evening.
The Patriots fed off an unlikely method of encouragement by their head coach.
Hahnville's Fountainette Bradley pulled his team within one point, after a pair of free throws courtesy of Patriots coach Allen Collins.
Collins was then hit with a technical foul with just less than 20 seconds left in the third quarter. He said he thought his team needed a fire lit to awaken them.
"In all my years of coaching, I have been known as a very reserved guy," Collins said. "I will be the first to discipline my team, but I will also have their back in their time of need.
"I didn't think we were getting the right calls, and my players were being treated unfairly. It prompted me to say something and I guess the referee didn't like it."
The newly motivated Patriots responded with a 6-0 run going into the fourth quarter. However, if one technical foul wasn't enough, Collins garnered a second one. This time he would be asked to leave the game for good.
"He gave me a second technical as well, but it was worth it to show my team I had their backs," Collins said.
The Patriots extended their lead to eight points after Joshua Watt scored back-to-back baskets. He finished with a team-high 14 points.
Hahnville had its chances throughout the game, but could not sustain a run to get them closer than two points.
Nathan Kennedy recorded five blocks, while posting five points on offense. Bradley led all scorers with 12 points, but found crowded spacing as the Patriots defense keyed on him.
Hahnville coach Marcell Fischer noted his team's lack of focus down the stretch.
"We didn't execute in the second half and it really hurt us," Fischer said. "We are a young team and have to learn to take care of the basketball. They concentrated on our best player and we were a little short-handed because of it.
"We will learn from this and focus for tomorrow."
Ehret spread the ball around in the first half once it settled down. Senior point guard Anthony McGhee led the charge and posted six points. Watts and added another five early to help take a 16-13 lead heading into halftime.
Both teams started slow in the first quarter. Hahnville held an early lead by applying pressure on defense.
The Tigers earned five of their first nine points from the free-throw line.
The Patriots provided some scrappy play down below to close out the first quarter only behind 9-6.
Ehret will play the winner of the Newman vs. McMain game on Thursday.
BROTHER MARTIN 81, BAKER, ALA. 73: The Crusaders got 28 points from Venjie Wallis to win in the first round of the Newman Invitational.
Bruce Jordan-Swilling and Luke Walker added 18 and 10 points, respectively.
Baker kept things close throughout the game and even led by as much as eight points in the third quarter.
Micheal Standifer scored 25 points while Demetri Williams and Jared Holland combined for another 24 points for Baker (15-9).
Brother Martin will play Helen Cox at 5 p.m. Thursday.
